Welcome Veronica Spriggs. We are thrilled to have her share her inspiration with us here at the Shutterfly Blog. Let's learn a bit about her.

Tell us about yourself.

"My name is Veronica Spriggs Owner and Designer at Digiscrap Boutique. I’m know on many scrapbook sites as Vivarant. Born into a family of female artists this journey into scrapbooking came naturally to me. I’ve dabbled in many art mediums from charcoal to acrylics. But my art really came alive when I discovered digital imagery. I’ve always been a sort of techy. I love gadgets and electronics. Digital art was a natural for me."

Veronica has created an elegant freebie card template for us to share our holiday memories. It would make a perfect holiday thank you card! Enjoy and please remember that all freebies are for personal use only.

"Well, I'm on break from anything work-related! We wrapped up our lines for Pink Paislee a month ago and now I can breathe! But, for now, my focus has been on creating Christmas gifts for my family. It's all about making them this year. I have tons of idea, but where is the time? We're taking our family holiday photo too and it's always fun to get creative with those every year!"

Where do you hang out on-line?

"I don't really hang out at any forums or anything. I pretty much prefer Facebook and Twitter. I have a private area that I hang out with my closest friends. I just don't find I have the time anymore to do much more than that. Facebook has allowed me to connect with the people I want without all the fluff or potential drama. And, I've gotten to know people better through it. Twitter has been amazing for me in both personal and business. I've met lots of local people to me and it's gotten me jobs, and created new friends."

Holly McCaig,from HollyMcCaigDesigns is so extremely talented and inspirational. Have fun learning more about her below and enjoy the awesome freebie quick page she created below!

How long have you been scrapbooking?

"Wow - Forever! Since high school! But, I got into scrapbooking the archival way when I was working with Close to My Heart as a consultant back in the 90's. "

Tell us about your site and tell us about anything special going on , Sales coming up? Chats? Classes?

"My number one goal is photography and you can find that I carry my designs over to www.pinkinkstudios.com for professional photographers. Scrapbook designing and scrapbooking are fun hobbies for me. On my site, you'll find portals to go to various aspects of what I do, including my paper products designed through Pink Paislee. I don't really run a huge scrapbooking site for myself, so it's just random postings, new listings when I have time, and of course a gallery that my creative team uses to share their inspiration using my products. I do have a mailing list through Google Groups here and a group on Facebook where I reach my audience. Feel free to join!"

Enjoy downloading and creating something fun with this stunning square quick page that Holly created. (Please remember that all freebies are for personal use only)
